The Reformed All Progressives
Congress, R-APC has again hit at the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC,
saying President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo lacked
coordination.
The R-APC, in a statement by its
National Publicity Secretary, Kassim Afegbua, cited the issue of restructuring
as an example.
It said that Buhari and Osinbajo
held different opinions on the subject.
Afegbua said the APC was not the
party its founding fathers envisaged when they came together in 2014.
He said, “As we speak, the APC
has jettisoned its own manifesto. Where is the restructuring we promised
Nigerians? They hurriedly came up with a committee headed by Governor (Nasir )
el-Rufai; where has that landed us?
“The Vice-President is a
supporter of restructuring. The President of the country is not a supporter of
restructuring in the same government.
“There is no synergy. There is no
coordination on any issue. You have about three or four opinions from the same
government; that is not the way to lead.
“When the Fulani herdsmen issue
came up in Benue State, the Inspector General of Police came up with a
different position; the Minister of Defence gave a different position; and the
Presidency is giving a different position.”
The National Chairman of the APC,
Adams Oshiomhole, had in an interview with journalists, claimed that the R-APC
members were mercenaries hired to destabilise the APC.
Reacting to this, Afegbua said
they were genuine members of the party interested in retrieving the party from
usurpers.
Afegbua, added, “Adams Oshiomhole
needs to take a look at our past. We do not possess the characteristics of
hirelings or mercenaries.
“We are bona fide members of the
APC . When it is convenient for people, they dress you in very elegant robes
but when they are losing the battle, they call you names, but we will not call
them names, we will continue to insist that we are going to rescue the APC and
reposition it for optimum performance.
“We cannot be preaching to be
progressives when we are law-breakers. We cannot be preaching that we are
progressives when we are a party that has performed abysmally low in all
sectors of the economy.”
